Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

"Hahahaha..." When the Sixth Aunt saw Su Bai's surprised expression, she laughed so hard that her body shook with laughter.

This mentally ill person really scared Su Bai.

She said that the reason Su Bai wanted Yan Xi to die was that she also discovered that Yan Xi did not respect Su Bai. She also saw with her own eyes that after Su Bai gave orders to Yan Xi, Yan Xi kept moving his lips towards Su Bai's back, and he must have been cursing.

It was impossible for Su Bai not to know Yan Xi's character, so she guessed that Su Bai would kill Yan Xi.

"It's okay. Butler Kong has killed people by accident over trivial matters before. Just leave it to him!"

If she didn't have any new news for him, Su Bai didn't want to stay with this jumpy lunatic for even a minute.

She stood up and said, "Let me think about it. I have to check with the Second Master and the Third Master to see if they left money in the Second Hospital. Only then can I be sure whether Yan Xi stole the money, right?"

Su Bai didn't dare to touch Yan Xi for the time being.

She remembered the hunchbacked old man that Zhou Beiwang had heard about from the old scholar.

We must find this old man first.

"Don't tell anyone about this for now, including the eldest lady." Su Bai said to the sixth concubine.

"Hey...why didn't you tell me earlier? I have already told the eldest lady!" The Sixth Aunt also stood up and whispered to Su Bai, don't worry, that's all, she won't tell anyone else.

"Especially the Third and Fourth Concubines, don't even think about hearing a word from me. I know that the eldest young lady is a person of affection and justice..."

Su Bai interrupted her: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

There is no friendship at all. Sixth Aunt is asking for favors from Su Bai.

The Sixth Aunt smiled knowingly.

……

The next day, when Su Bai got up early and came to Zhou Beiwang's battalion headquarters, Gao Hu told her that Battalion Commander Zhou had gone to Tianlong County overnight because of urgent military intelligence.

He advised Su Bai not to worry, as Captain Zhou would probably be back soon.

After Yang Huasen's mutiny, there were less than 600 people left in the guard battalion. Even if Commander Kong made up his mind to go to Marshal Yang's territory to eliminate the rebels, there was no need for the Longxing Guard Battalion to go. These 600 soldiers could not play a big role, and someone had to guard Longxing.

"Madam, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. I will be taking over the defense of the Kong Mansion in four or five days at most. Please forgive me for any inconvenience I have caused you!"

Gao Hu's straightforwardness caught Su Bai completely off guard. He had great respect for Battalion Commander Zhou Beiwang, and felt the same way about Su Bai. He had also met several wives or young mistresses from wealthy families, and always felt that Su Bai had a temperament that they did not have.

He told Su Bai frankly that the task Kong Chen assigned to him was to protect the eldest young lady at all times, and as long as Su Bai left the Kong Mansion, he would send soldiers to follow him.

Su Bai nodded: "I know, you don't need to explain, I certainly won't blame you."

After hearing this, Gao Hu bowed to Su Bai first, but then felt that it was not right, so he changed it to a military salute to Su Bai.

Su Bai was amused by his exaggerated behavior and told him that the four western wing rooms in the front yard had been vacated. If Gao Hu's soldiers felt crowded in the barracks, they could move into the Kong Mansion first regardless of whether the handover had taken place or not.

Gao Hu told Su Bai that even if the handover was formally completed, his Kong Mansion Guards would not interfere in any affairs of the Kong Mansion, nor would they harass anyone in the mansion.

"So many people are staring at me. Our second master really cares about my niece!"

Gao Hu grinned: "Why do you do this, I really don't know..."

Su Bai took over the conversation: "Just follow your orders. It's certainly a good thing to have someone to protect me. It would be even better if Captain Gao was there to protect me personally."

"If there is no other military duty, I will personally protect the eldest young lady when she goes out!" As he said this, he saluted again.

"Please inform me when Captain Zhou comes back, okay?" Su Bai asked Gao Hu.

"Yes, sir!" Gao Hu did not salute this time.

The Confucius Mansion suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was scary.

After the Sixth Aunt conveyed Su Bai's words to Kong Man, she never came to see Su Bai again.

Everything was normal in the Kong family. The servants worked and ate as usual, and the concubines gathered together to play cards every day.

As for the two young masters in name only whose lineage is questionable, apart from the two meetings when the master introduced Su Bai to everyone before his death and when they gathered together to announce their will after his death, Su Bai has been in the Kong Mansion for more than 20 days. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has not met them three times in total.

Hardly a word was said.

When the third young master met Su Bai, he nodded once to indicate his intention. However, the fourth young master walked with his head looking up at the sky, looking very arrogant.

Su Bai looked at his head held high and thought that this thing would fall down sooner or later because his thin neck could not hold it.

Zi Yan heard that these two young masters gambled heavily in the casinos outside all day long. After Su Bai transferred the property of the Kong Mansion to Kong Chen, the third young master took over the management of the opium dens in Longxing City on behalf of Kong Chen, and the third young master took over the casinos.

Although they were both in Longxing City, the two seldom returned to the Confucius Mansion.

The renovation of Kong Dai's basement was basically completed in two days. According to Su Bai's requirements, the basement was divided into several rooms and the electrical wiring was also connected.

Su Bai was very satisfied. What Kong Dai said, that it would take nearly a month for the cement to reach its maximum hardness, did not affect Su Bai's work here. He just needed to avoid letting hard objects hit the walls and floors that had been coated with cement and cause damage.

Despite this, Kong Dai also advised Su Bai to handle it with care and at least wait seven days before using it again.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Su Bai was renovating the basement. Su Bai explained to them that the basement had been under construction for several years, but had never been used and was leaking everywhere.

Now that we have separated from the Kong family army, we must have some savings just in case in troubled times. After the basement is renovated, we will use it to store things.

Naturally, the nosy third concubine wanted to get involved in this matter. She went to the basement to check, but could not see anything. Although it had been converted into many small houses, they were all empty.

In order to keep it secret, the equipment bought from Qingdao were moved into the basement from the Third Hospital in batches at night by brothers Kong Dai and Guo Deyi, along with Zi Yan and Yuan Yuze.

After the basement was repaired, Kong Dai asked for leave again, using the excuse that he wanted to accompany the widow back to her hometown.

Su Bai agreed before he finished speaking, fearing that it would be embarrassing if he continued to make up stories.

Su Bai now believes that although Kong Dai has concealed something from him, his affairs should have nothing to do with him.

Liu glanced at the damn thing and asked Tietou to throw another note in from the back wall. The content was similar to the last time, saying that everything was fine and he was very busy, so he didn't let Su Bai look for him.

Zhou Beiwang finally returned after being gone for five days.

When Su Bai hurriedly went to him to discuss how to deal with Yan Xi's matter, before Su Bai could open his mouth, Zhou Beiwang told Su Bai a piece of news: things were going to change in Longxing City.
